Description

TITLE ACRYLIC POLYMER COMPOUNDS
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION This invention is directed to an acrylic polymer that is useful in formulating coatings and adhesives.
There is a need for an acrylic polymer containing adhesion promoting groups for use in adhesives and coating compositions since initial adhesion and loss of adhesion on exposure to water are common problems that are difficult to solve. Ambient temperature curing compositions containing AAEMA (acetoacetoxy ethyl methacrylate), glycidyl methaciylate or acrylate and a polymerizable acid are shown in Say US Patent 4,906,684 issued March 6, 1990. Cosmetic film forming compositions of an aqueous emulsion of sulfopolyesters and a copolymer of vinyl acetate and dialkyl maleate or fumerate and an emulsion polymer of acetoacetoxy ethyl alkyl acrylate are shown in Meyers et al US Patent 5,266,322 issued November 30, 1993 and Dobbs US Patent 5,380,520 issued January 10, 1995. European Patent Application 0 626 397 Al published November 30, 1994 shows a thermoplastic tile adhesive of an emulsion polymer of an all acrylic polymer or an acrylic-styrene polymer containing AAEMA. None of these polymers provide the adhesion, resistance to delamination by water, durability, scratch resistance and gloss retention that are required for polymers used in certain coatings and adhesives. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
An acrylic polymer composed of polymerized monomers of about 55-80% by weight of any one of the following monomers or mixtures thereof: an alkyl methacrylate having 1-12 carbon atoms in the alkyl group, and alkyl acrylate having 1-12 carbon atoms in the alkyl group, substituted or unsubstituted aryl methaciylate or acrylate, substituted or unsubstituted alicyclic methaciylate or acrylate, substituted or unsubstituted cyclic methacrylate or acrylate, a polymerizable vinyl aromatic monomer or vinyl pyrrolidone, and contains 5-40% by weight of acetoacetoxy ethyl methacrylate and 5-15 % by weight of an ethylenically unsaturated acid and the acrylic polymer has a weight average molecular weight of about
10,000-3,000,000 and a glass transition temperature of about -20 to 50°C. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
The acrylic polymer of this invention has excellent adhesion to various substrates such as glass, ceramics, metals and to keratin of a nail and can be used in adhesives and coatings. The unique combination of the acetoacetoxy ethyl methacrylate and carboxylic acid in the acrylic polymer provides a combination of adhesion promoting groups that are new to the art for coatings and adhesives. The acrylic polymer has a glass transition temperature in the range of about -20 to 50°C. The acrylic polymer can be used to form a clear coating composition or a pigmented coating composition that has excellent durability, hardness, good adhesion to various substrates, scratch and mar resistance, resistance to water and has excellent gloss retention. Adhesives formulated from the polymer have outstanding adhesion to many substrates and forms a strong water resistant bond. The acrylic polymer can be prepared by conventional solution polymerization processes in which the monomers, solvent and polymerization initiator are charged over a 1-24 hour period of time, preferably 2-8 hours, into a conventional polymerization reactor in which the constituents are heated to about 60-175°C, preferably 80-100°C. The polymer formed is a linear random polymer that has a weight average molecular weight of about 10,000 - 200,000.
Molecular weight is determined by gel permeation chromatography using polymethyl methacrylate as the standard.
Glass transition temperature of the polymer is calculated according to the following formula:
Tg τgl Tg2 Tg3 + Tgn where Tg is the glass transition temperature of the polymer in degrees Kelvin; Wi, W2, W3 ■ • • Wn are the weight fractions of each of the components of the polymer and Tgj, Tg2, Tg3, Tgn are the Tg, in degrees Kelvin, of the homopolymer made from the individual components of the polymer.

When the polymer is used in a coating composition, preferably the polymer has a glass transition temperature of 0 to 50°C and when used in an adhesive, preferably the polymer has a glass transition temperature of about -20 to 25°C. If the glass transition temperature of the polymer is greater than that desired for the particular end use, plasticizers can be added to reduce the glass transition temperature for the composition. Typically useful plasticizers include phthalate esters such as di(2- ethylhexyl) phthalate, dioctyl phthalate; phosphate esters such as tricresyl phosphate such as tricresyl phosphate and other esters such as adipates, azelates, oleates, sebacates, fatty acid esters and glycol esters.
Appropriate types and levels of catalysts or inhibitors may be added to control the rate of crosslinking in these compositions. These compositions can contain ultraviolet light stabilizers, screeners, quenchers and antioxidants typically used in compositions. Also, colorants and pigments can be added as well as flow control agents.
The following examples which illustrate the invention. One skilled in the art will readily recognize that these acrylic polymers can be readily formulated into high quality coating compositions or adhesives by the addition of a crosslinker as discussed above and form coatings for automobiles, trucks, appliances, furniture and the like, or adhesive compositions for metal, glass, plastic and the like. AD parts and percentages are on a weight basis unless otherwise specified.

Note 1: Appearance refers to gloss, clarity, and integrity of the dry film formed.
Note 2: Water Resistance refers to the degree of etching/deformation of the film as a result of contact with a drop of water for 5 minutes. Ratings are excellent, good, fair and poor.
Note 3: Oil resistance refers to the degree of etching/deformation of the film as a result of contact with a drop of commercial hand cream lotion ( a mixture of water, cetyl esters, petroleum, isopropyl palmitate, triethanolamine, steiyl alcohol, lanolin, methylparaben, propylparaben and other) for 5 minutes. Rating are excellent, good, fair and poor.
Note 4: Adhesion refers to the difficulty of removmg me dried film from the glass plate when subjected to water temperatures of room temperature up to 70°C. The higher the temperature and/or the longer the time required to soak off the film, the stronger the adhesion of the film to the glass plate. An adhesion scale of 1-10 was used, with 1 being the best adhesion and 10 being the worst in adhesion and easiest to soak off the glass plate.
